WOODLAND SUGAR COOKIES

INGREDIENTS:

1 C. Butter, softened

1 C. Sugar

1 Egg

1 teaspoon Almond Extract

1/3 C. Sour Cream

3 C. Flour

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Cream together until light and fluffy.

Add the egg, almond extract and sour cream and mix together until smooth, scraping down the sides once.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder.

Add to the wet ingredients and mix in until just combined.

Place the dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper and roll out to a thickness of no less than 1/2”.

Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.

Remove dough from refrigerator and cut out desired shapes with cookie cutters.

Place cookies 1” apart on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. Do not let them brown! Cook for the shortest amount of time possible, so that they almost seem underdone. Once cooled, they will be soft because of this.

Cool cookies on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
